Leptin is the Hormone in the body responsible for appetite and fat storage and in most people it is not working properly. That’s because Leptin is essential for survival; it guides the proper response to starvation. The problem is that for most people the Leptin message is enforcing a "starvation metabolism" even when food and body fat is in abundance. This dysfunctional Leptin Message that is sent to the brain is instructing our bodies to eat more and store more fat when it is completely unnecessary. As the esteemed Metabolic Specialist and Endocrinologist Dr. Gabriel O’Conner stated: “When the Leptin Message is lost, we lose long term weight control.”
